Changing "Multisource = require '../../multisource-stream'" to "Multisource = require 'multisource-stream'" in src/request.coffee solve error.

Hi Morhaus, I found a way to make catalyst work with Youtube, I force my browser uses Googlebot as User-Agent on Youtube using Privoxy or extension like ModifyHeader, I create this thread to let you know we can accelerate Youtube video now and report a few bugs:

If you use Firefox you can install this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/modify-headers/

Click ModifyHeader icon, select ModifyHeader Options.
Select action choose "Modify", Header name put "User-Agent", Value put "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" and then Start ModifyHeader.

Now you can go to http://www.youtube.com and Youtube and even GoogleVideo will use HTTP instead HTTPS.

Hope you can test Youtube and fix bug, I still get some bug make Catalyst-Proxy stop working in my using progress. Here is a few and a information that I think will be related:

When I was watching Youtube with FLASH PLAYER, sometimes I got this problem:

http.js:1844
throw new Error('Protocol:' + options.protocol + ' not supported.');
^
Error: Protocol:https: not supported.
at Object.exports.request (http.js:1844:11)

and

http.js:1844
throw new Error('Protocol:' + options.protocol + ' not supported.');
^
Error: Protocol:https: not supported.
at Object.exports.request (http.js:1844:11)
at Thread.module.exports.Thread._connect (\thread.js:64:22)

And this problem I don't know why it happens ?

received invalid range: null, expected 512000,71598970

And I can only watch Youtube video from Youtube.com if I use this config:
catalyst start -H 127.0.0.1 -p 1234 -s 1048625 -l 2048625 -t 3

If I use this config, video will never get downloaded:
catalyst start -H 127.0.0.1 -p 1234 -s 524288 -l 2048625 -t 3

That mean I have to increase section size to 1MB instead 512KB, and 1MB sometimes make connection disconnect for my network, but 512KB is more stable than 1MB but cannot watch Youtube..

And also There is a way to make Catalyst-Proxy works on HTTPS content with ProxHTTPSProxy, here is tip: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fvn-sharing.net%2Fforum%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2045%26page%3D47

Hi Morhaus, first I want to thanks for creating such a great proxy.

These day every sites become SSL/HTTPS, so without HTTPS support seem Catalyst Proxy a little bit uneffective, example Youtube is now HTTPS, its googlevideo use HTTPS so I cannot accelerate video download speed using Catalyst, I hope you will add HTTPS support using something like Man in the middle method. Thanks!
